Tamil films care less about heroines, says Kajal Aggarwal

Kajal Aggarwal is undoubtedly one of the most sought after South actresses with her Tamil and Telugu films becoming massive hits. But her latest statement could create a controversy and make Tamil filmmakers think twice before signing her for Kollywood films.

Speaking to the Times of India, Kajal Aggarwal has said that there is a difference between Telugu and Tamil films. The actress finds that women are respected well in Tollywood than Kollywood. According to the actress, who delivered blockbuster Thuppakki starring Vijay and hit Maattrraan with Surya last year, Tamil film industry cares only about heroes and they treat them like a god.

"I prefer the Telugu film industry as women are respected more than they are in the Tamil film industry. In Tamil cinema, they care only about their hero, who is God. Of course, I don't give a shit and go and sit in my van," The TOI quoted the actress as saying. The actress' statement is likely to spark controversy considering that the actress was only part of two biggies - Maattrran and Thuppakki - in the recent years.

However, when asked about her favourite actor in Tamil films, Kajal Aggarwal said that she enjoyed working with Ilayathalapathy Vijay. Meanwhile, the actress, who is eagerly waiting for the release of Special 26, is part of All in All Azhagu Raja and Vijay's next film tentatively titled Jilla.
